5 Best Book Series for Girls
Nancy Drew
Old classic mystery series with a smart young detective. Even though the series is 88 years old, it is still very relevant. There is an updated version of the series where these stories have been modernized but I still prefer the older version. Those stories are timeless and when you read the books you would never think that they are almost 90 years old.
Why we love it:
- Always a mystery to solve, hard to put down
- Follows a pattern in a every book
- Encourage positivity and helping others
